Reading tips for at home:

• Always make reading a fun and relaxing activity where you and your child take turns to read.
• Talk about the book and its contents before you read it -watch this video for an example, or please come see me! I'm happy to show you.
• The 3 p's: Pause, Prompt, Praise (when your child comes across an unknown word, don't tell them what it is. Instead,pause and give them time to think. If they still don't know then give them a prompt or hint... then praise them for getting it right. 
• If your child is still having trouble with working out a word, ask, "What would make sense?" and get them to have a play with different possible words in the sentence. 
• The next option is to get them to sound it out.
• The last option is to tell them.
